Transition from open park area to the enclosed gardens at The Orchard Garden Cafe and Function Centre between Alexandra and Clyde, Central Otago, New Zealand. I’ve already shown a photo Nigel took of me through the Blue Doors, here’s more context. We were there on my birthday 31 October 2019.
All photos taken by Nigel except for the last one.

Open park area. Mounds with little groups of trees.
Entrance to the enclosed garden.
The Blue Doors viewed from inside the enclosed garden.
We both loved the blue doors transition from park to formal garden.

It’s what I imagine the door in Frances Hodgson Burnett’s “The Secret Garden” looked like, once it was flung open and painted blue. 🙂
